Chiltern and Cherwell Valley Lines

Pictures from the last days of steam to the present on the lines from Marylebone & Paddington through the Chiltern Hills and Cherwell Valley to Birmingham Snow Hill, plus associated branch lines. Photos are in chronological order, apart from the first few, oldest first! New (or old!) pictures are constantly being added!

Even the Allely's driver thought this situation merited a photo - a tight squeeze! The Allely's low-loader had to get out from the loco loading area, out of the picture to the left, avoiding the concrete stop-block at the end of the track and the rear end is almost against the building beyond the Portastor. Just two more right-angle bends to negotiate before getting "Scaz" out of the depot at Aylesbury and on its way to Tyseley. 11:22¾, Wednesday 30th March 2016. Digital Image No. IGMP17567.
